The devil may smile with an angels face   A cat may be stolen of its grace   They say it's just a matter of time and place      A man may be less than an animal   The antichrist write up the honor roll   The tightrope walker take the final fall   (at his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that's in the news)      Oh, the things you see   Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah,   When arrogance does publicity,    Smiling happily      It's a merry go round and around and around      The begging boy becomes the begging man   The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb   And a child want's to know if the Candyman can      Everybody want's the fancy car   And we've all been told not to run too far   But everybody wants to be a rock'n'roll star      Oh, the things you see   Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah,    When ignorance spreads conformity,    Smiling happily      It's a merry go round and around and around
